🤖 Tomorrow's Intelligence
The Next Era of Robotics, AI & Start Ups
KCL Robotics × UncookedJobs presents...
London's biggest university robotics panel. One night only.
Sponsored by ChatMesh
📅 Details
Wednesday 10th December
🚪 Doors 4:45pm | Panel 5:15pm
📍 Strand, Central London (exact venue shared closer to the event)
Hardware doesn't get enough love in the UK.
Software events? Everywhere. But robotics, autonomous systems, the people actually building physical things that move and break and eventually work?
That crowd doesn't gather often. This is one of those nights.
🎤 The Lineup
Rich Walker Director, Shadow Robot Company. 14 years building robotic hands that can thread a needle.
James Brown MD at NextGenRI, Unitree's UK partner. The robot dogs you've seen everywhere? That's them.
Radhika Gudipati Innovation Lead at ARIA, the UK's moonshot agency. 13 years making deep tech real.
Jafar Uruç Ex-Dyson Robot Learning Lab. Ex-Humanoid AI. Now building at a stealth hardware startup.
Edwin Redhead Head of UCL AI Nexus Labs. Second year student running one of London's top Al research groups.

🔥 Why This One's Different
This isn't a careers fair or a lecture. It's five people who've built robots at Unitree and Humanoid AI, shipped products at Dyson, shaped UK research at ARIA, and grown companies from scratch. Telling you how it actually works.
How do you break into hardware when most jobs are software? What do early stage robotics startups hire for? Is a PhD the path or a detour? What does building physical tech in 2025 actually feel like?
Bring questions. They'll answer.
👥 The Room
Students from KCL, UCL, Imperial and beyond. Founders building in the space. Professors running research labs.
If you're curious about hardware startups, embodied AI, or just want to be around people who think about this stuff all day, this is it.
UncookedJobs is co-hosting with KCL Robotics. They're building Europe's biggest community for startup and hardware careers. Come meet the team, see what they're working on, and hear about opportunities with startups in their network.
